A May 20xx Digital Life in 2025 report on the Inter of Things from Pew Research and Elon University examining the likely impacts of the Inter of Things and wearable and embedded worked devices. A majority of the more than 1,600 respondents said they expect significant expansion of the Inter of Things, including connected devices, appliances, vehicles, wearables, and sensorladen aspects of the environment. ? A July 20xx report on Threats to the Open Inter from Pew Research and Elon University canvassing a number of experts and other stakeholders on what they see as the major threats to the free flow of information online. A majority of these experts expect the Inter to remain a place where people can freely access and share content, even as they anticipate a number of potential threats to this freedom in the ing years. This report is a collaborative effort based on the input and analysis of the following individuals.

Some 1,896 experts responded to the following question: The economic impact of robotic advances and AI—Selfdriving cars, intelligent digital agents that can act for you, and robots are advancing rapidly. Will worked, 5 PEW RESEARCH CENTER g automated, artificial intelligence (AI) applications and robotic devices have displaced more jobs than they have created by 2025? Half of these experts (48%) envision a future in which robots and digital agents have displaced significant numbers of both blue and whitecollar workers—with many expressing concern that this will lead to vast increases in ine inequality, masses of people who are effectively unemployable, and breakdowns in the social order. The other half of the experts who responded to this survey (52%) expect that technology will not displace more jobs than it creates by 2025. To be sure, this group anticipates that many jobs currently performed by humans will be substantially taken over by robots or digital agents by 2025. But they have faith that human ingenuity will create new jobs, industries, and ways to make a living, just as it has been doing since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. These two groups also share certain hopes and concerns about the impact of technology on employment. For instance, many are concerned that our existing social structures—and especially our educational institutions—are not adequately preparing people for the skills that will be needed in the job market of the future. Conversely, others have hope that the ing changes will be an opportunity to reassess our society?s relationship to employment itself—by returning to a focus on smallscale or artisanal modes of production, or by giving people more time to spend on leisure, selfimprovement, or time with loved ones. A number of themes ran through the responses to this question: those that are unique to either group, and those that were mentioned by members of both groups. JP Rangaswami, chief scientist for , offered a number of reasons for his belief that automation will not be a displacer of jobs in the next decade: “The effects will be different in different economies (which themselves may look different from today39。d argue that jobs will shift into other sectors. Now more than ever, an army of talented coders is needed to help our technology advance. But we will still need folks to do packaging, assembly, sales, and outreach. The collar of the future is a hoodie.” John Markoff, senior writer for the Science section of the New York Times, responded, “You didn39。 will have to be involved on a large scale.

The middle is moving to the bottom.” Stowe Boyd, lead researcher at GigaOM Research, said, “As just one aspect of the rise of robots and AI, widespread use of autonomous cars and trucks will be the immediate end of taxi drivers and truck drivers。s population will be outside of the world of work—either living on the dole, or benefiting from the dramatically decreased costs of goods to eke out a subsistence lifestyle. The central question of 2025 will be: What are people for in a world that does not need their labor, and where only a minority are needed to guide th
